Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:
Even in this era of round-the-clock sporting activity, the football World Cup holds a special allure. Very few competitions kindle such worldwide interest and stir passion quite like the showpiece event of the most popular sport. For footballing nerds, it is the biggest stage to look out for the latest tactical trends while for the romantics, it is an opportunity to reconnect with their favorite yesteryear stars’ teams, such as Diego Maradona’s Argentina, Pele’s Brazil and Johan Cruyff’s Netherlands. What has changed however is the timing, with the World Cup moving away from the traditional summer slot to escape the West Asian country’s searing heat. It will thus be held right in the middle of various club seasons, cutting short the time for practice and coaching lessons. But unlike at a tournament that comes at the fag end of the season, player fatigue is not expected to be a defining factor. Another point has been Qatar’s record in upholding universal human rights and its worthiness as a host. But the debate will linger until such time as sports organizations realign their moral compass and break the nexus with big capital and authoritarian governments.
Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument made in the above passage?
I: Qatar, who are also World Cup debutants, will be eyeing glory in front of the home crowd.
II: The last time a team making its debut in the World Cup won its first match was in 2002 when Senegal defeated France.
III: It will be no different when host Qatar and Ecuador set the ball rolling in the opening match of the 2022 edition this Sunday.
